Okay, this is the funniest Strike-centric story I’ve read yet.

As you’ve probably seen by now, Carson Daly crossed the picket lines and went ahead with production of his late, late night talk show, Last Call with Carson Daly. The heckling he received for being a scab back then wasn’t enough, however, and some writers/mercenaries took it to the next level.

Last night, during a taping with NFL star Jerry Rice, a member of the audience quickly stood up and told Carson that his jokes weren’t funny, and he needed a writer to write better questions. Security quickly swooped in and escorted the villainous writer out. Whew…situation dissolved, right?

Wrong. After Daly restarted the interview with Rice, another member of the audience stood up and said, “I feel so bad for the striking writers! Can I please leave?”, and went on to point out that Carson was using cue cards, and asked who was writing those. He was also escorted out, along with three more.

After this disruption, someone stood up and said that anyone else who interrupted the production would be prosecuted, and that any other striking writers should leave. A whopping twenty or so got up and excused themselves.

I think this infiltration settles it…the writers’ ninja skills are unparalleled.
